Mark Perakh

Mark Perakh (Russian: Марк Пэрах; perach (פֶּ֫רַח) is the Hebrew word for "flower"; born Mark Yakovlevich Popereka; 1924 – 7 May 2013) was a science writer. He was a professor emeritus of Mathematics and statistical mechanics at California State University, Fullerton in Fullerton, California.

Perakh taught physics, researched superconductivity, and wrote some 300 scientific papers, but his fame particularly comes from his writing about science and religion on Talk Reason, a website he helped found, and from his regular contributions to the blog The Panda's Thumb.
